Your support makes all the difference.The Hollywood Walk of Fame star belonging to Donald Trump has been vandalised once again as the US President celebrates his 100th day in office.
Photos that have been obtained by TMZ shows Trump's commemorative star fit with graffiti bearing the words “F*ck Trump.”
The star has only been recently replaced after it was destroyed with a pickaxe and sledgehammer a week before he won the election in October 2016. The culprit - James Otis - was later sentenced to three years of probation and 20 days of road maintenance work.
No arrests have been made regarding the latest act of vandalism, the LAPD has confirmed.
Trump's presidential inauguration took place 100 days ago in Washington D.C. on 20 January where he gave a speech that seemed strangely familiar to one spoken by Batman villain Bane (Tom Hardy) in Christopher Nolan film The Dark Knight Rises.
It was revealed last week how Trump agreed to let Oscar-winning Al Pacino film Scent of a Woman (1992) shoot scenes in his hotel on the proviso that he was given a cameo in the film. Director Martin Brest agreed but later left his appearance on the cutting room floor.
